IMPROVEMENT 1N Domme-WAGON B0X.

TO ALL WHOMlT MAY CONCERN:

Beit knownithnt I, GEORGE R. CLARK, of Livonia, in the county of Livingston, and State of New York, here invented certain new ond useful Improvements in Dumping-Wagon Boxes and I do hereby declare that the following is n. full, clear, und exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making port of this'speciiicntion, in 'whieh- Figure 1 is n plan or topview of my invention.

Figure 2 is a. transverse vertical section of the same, taken in the plane of the red line :a in fig. l.

Figure 3 is a similar section of the some, taken in the piane of the red line n. in g. 1

Figure 4 is nn elevation of a. section of one side, showing the locking-hook t.

Like letters indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.

This invention consists mainly in making the bottom 'of dulnpingwagon noxes 1n two general sections longitudinally, they being divided laterally so its to fit down ush between the holsters.

To enable others to make and use my invention, I will describe its construction und operation.

The false or secondary holsters b may be composed of tivo ports or bars, b and b', :is shown in fig. 3, and bolted together. There are two circular cuts mede in these bers or holsters to receive the long :miel bars a. There are scvcrol cross-bers, shown by the'dotted lines d, figs. 1 and 3, framed into the long bars a. The

boards forming the sections S ofthe bottom are nailed to these cross-bars. The bars a ztre cheinfered or roundedL on their lower contiguous corners, :is seen in figs. 2 and 3, to permit them to fold down, es when dumping. There muy ne strop-hinges, as shown at s, fig. 1, if desired, to ntf-:tch the bottoms permanently to the {':tlse holsters. The centre hors f are inode to extend beyond the side of the box to receive the locking-hooks 71, as shown in figs. 1, 2, and 4. The sideboerds D may be inode of :my desired. width, and may be provided with staples c to encircle the stakes, as shown in figs. 1 and 3. There may be o. sort of gua-rd, g, hinged to the bottom to cover the joint between the bars a and prevent the lodginent of any substance in the joint when the box is being dumped, ns shown in fig. 3, which is done by simply throwing the hitch or hook L to the position of the .lot-ted lines 7L', iig.

Itmny be necessary in unloading certain kinds of material, such as cortrse innnure, Sto., to reise, :rnd perhops evlcn remove the side boards.

Whitt I claim os my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

'.lhe construction and relative :trrnngement ofthe several ports a, fl, S, f, z, and D, constituting a. dumpingwngon box, substantially in the manner and for the purposes herein shown and described.

enen. CLARK.
